Q:

Is a Google ID/password required for version upgrades of the MDM agent on Android systems?

A:

Yes.

However, when a Google ID and password is entered to use services provided by Google (such as Google Apps), Single Sign-On will be activated, and no further ID/password requests will be made. A Google ID and password must be entered if Google services are not being used (if you are logged out from them).
